    Another drink ordered not to long as well.
    Brianna R.

    I have been too this restaurant quite a few times...I asked the manager if they excepted spousal drinking if my spouse is over 21 he can legally serve me some places and they said yes ma'am all we need to see is both of your ids, okay no problem. They served me mutltiple times. My husband is 22 and I'm 20. Come in today 03/23/19 and let them know I'd like a mixed drink, show them our ids and one of the waiters says he can drink but not you.. I was like hold up I have been here on mutliple occasions and have been able too, he kept saying No,no,no! I was like can I talk to your manager, apparently he wasn't here and so they guy got on the phone with someone and he was like my boss says I can't. What's up with Guacomoles? That's false advertisement if im not mistaking.

    Decent prices depending on what you're getting lunch specials are great, $20 for two entrees with a tip.

    My mothers "sangria"

    This place had hands down, the worst service I've ever had anywhere. The waiter took 15 minutes to bring drinks (water, not alcohol), forgot my mothers sangria (which had no fruit or ice in it) and the food took over an hour to arrive. The music was also so loud we couldn't hear the waiter or each other to have a conversation. After our meal my husband spoke to the manager and he didn't seem to mind that we had horrible service, that the drinks were crap and that we were unhappy. He was sitting in his office behind a closed door and went right back behind his closed door after telling my husband "I'll have the hostess come help the waiter". Horrible horrible service. The only reason I can imagine this place is still open is because there aren't many Mexican food restaurants in Lufkin. This place was the worst.

    Spiced just right ! Great service ! Clean and friendly ! If your server is busy...another staff member will refill and check on you ! Be back here for sure !

    Guacamole's has delicious nachos.

    Some very delicious Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food. The drinks are also very appetizing and they have ice-cold beer.

    Newk's Eatery is a regional chain restaurant. This location is in a plaza with plenty of parking…read more The interior was very clean and seemed new. You order at the counter, and then they give you a number. You self seat and they will deliver your food, as well as clean your table when you leave. Several of us enjoyed the pick two option. All of our sandwiches and salads tastes fresh and had good flavors. If I ever come across a Newk's again, I would definitely pay another visit.

    I hadn't been back in quite some time after moving from LA. , and returning reminded me exactly why…read moreI used to love this place. I placed my order to go, and it was ready right on time when I arrived, which made the experience even better. First and foremost, that strawberry cake still has my heart. It is consistently moist, perfectly sweet, and has just the right amount of icing. I'm usually a "Pick Two" kind of person because I love having smaller portions and more variety. On this visit, I paired a Caesar salad with a Newk's Q, and it was exactly what I remembered. The Caesar salad came with a flavorful dressing, and the sauce on the Newk's Q remains my favorite part of the sandwich. It's just so good. Overall, this meal felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Sometimes revisiting a favorite spot can be disappointing, but this visit delivered all the familiar flavors I had been missing. Safe to say, I won't be waiting so long before my next visit.

    One of Lufkin''s popular lunch spots, lunch specials are offered here so of course my coworkers and…read moreI hit this place up when we have an assignment in Lufkin. The Tex-Mex options here involve your normies such as enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, nachos, and tacos. All of these (or a combination of these) are part of the express lunch menu which is what we usually order. Most of the time, people in our group get some sort of enchiladas with the favorites being the avocado or the verde due to the sauces and cheesiness mixed in. The avocado is probably my favorite since I'm an avocado lover with the taste and texture. Other favorites are the street tacos where it comes with three tacos and the rice and beans. These tacos are quite large so it's not the traditional mexican street tacos with the onions/cilantro on the miniature tortillas. They are also packed and I mean PACKED with proteins; I've only gotten the al pastor cause I keep coming back to it. Something about it that makes it addicting with the tenderness of the meat and spices. We'll have to try dinner here sometime cause they have quite the selection of entrees such as the drunken shrimp, fajita platter, and pollo poblano. Bueno Trabajo Herraduras!

    Honestly this place was fire! I wasn't expecting it to be all that from the outside (right next to…read morea cici's pizza) but walked inside and it was nice. The booths were tall and secluded so that's a plus and the food was amazing. The salsa they served was so good, I had to force myself not to eat it all with the chips and the main dish itself was so fresh and flavorful. I got the California bowl and my husband got a chicken plate and it was just great. For the price and the portion size, everything was on point. I got the non alcoholic cucumber drink and that was fresh too. The staff was nice and attentive. The food did take some time to come out but it's because everything was so fresh and definitely worth the wait.

    We have been to Tsubaki probably 5 times and we have loved it each time. The food has always been…read moregreat on the dine in side we haven't tried the hibachi side yet but we will. The sushi is always fresh and not fishy, soft shell crab is never pungent and always fresh tasting! Bento boxes are a great deal, the noodles are really good from the side dish noodles to the udon! The drinks have always been cold and tasty especially the last one I got which was the Scorpion Bolw! It was huge and very tasty, even comes out on fire! The service is usually pretty good but sometimes the waitresses disappear for a while but everyone there is always willing to help. The building is definitely a bit older and we'll kept inside, tables are clean and covered with fresh paper between guests, the sushi bar is nice with no weird bar smells and the bathrooms have been decent. We will continue to go to Tsubaki as it has become one of our favs here in Lufkin.

    I decided to give this place a try while I was at an all time high with one of my sushi craving…read morefits! I was in Lufkin and said why not give this place a try. It's Friday , I'm off, and I was feeling adventurous!! Well, I popped in at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was pretty quiet, with only myself and two others there, which would have given me cause to pause had this been a Houston Japanese bar, but this IS Lufkin yall, so I wasn't gonna jump to conclusions regarding the sparseness of patrons. I went straight to the bar and started trying to place my order. Unfortunate for me it was a very young, and brand new waitress helping me who had ZERO familiarity with anything on the nigiri menu , which is what I wanted, nor did she even know what nigiri meant as opposed to sashimi or maki rolls and I had to explain to her what a hot saki was when trying to order my drink.. ( bummer) But I was patient with her and she was trying , and was overall a sweet girl, so I just pushed through.. At any rate, the food finally was prepared by the sushi chef who was there behind the bar, who was not very friendly considering he was not busy at all and I was the only person sitting at the bar, but to his credit he wasn't rude either, and he did manage a smile my way. The sushi was very average , but it was edible and overall fresh, not fishy or blah, which I was happy at least for that , however there were no premium selections of fish available, ie; blue fin tuna, fatty tuna, king salmon, or uni options.. But I won't be too hard on them because I'm pretty sure they get more requests for there cooked options from the kitchen , which were endless by the way, and their selection of maki rolls, more than anything else, making there nigiri options an outlier. So I gave 3 out of five stars..

    Cheddar's -- A Family Favorite Worth Returning For!…read more This was such a great spot to spend time with family! We came in as a party of nine, and the service was absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure if it was because we went on a Friday for lunch or if their service is always this quick, but everything moved smoothly and efficiently. One waiter, in particular (I wish I had caught his name), was excellent -- attentive, gracious, and clearly proud of his work. Let's Talk About the Food! We started with the croissants and honey butter, and let me tell you -- they were amazing! I would come back to Texas just to have those again. Even after we'd let them sit for a bit, our waiter surprised us by bringing another heated plate, fresh and drizzled with that golden honey butter. It was such a thoughtful touch! For my main dish, I had the steak with broccoli casserole. The casserole brought back memories of my grandmother's recipe -- warm, cheesy, and full of flavor. It felt like a little bite of home. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and my tablemates couldn't stop talking about the ribs and green beans, which are must-tries if you go. Atmosphere & Overall Experience Since we came during a slower time, the restaurant was mostly empty, so I can't comment too much on the full dining atmosphere. But based on what my family (who are regulars) shared, it's always a friendly, family-oriented environment -- the kind of place where you can relax, laugh, and enjoy good food together. If you're ever near a Cheddar's, definitely check it out for yourself. Leave a review and let me know what your favorite part of the meal was -- but don't skip those croissants! They're worth the trip alone.

    You know what this place is!…read more Either you like it or you don't. Has the prices gone up over the years? Most definitely, but what food spot hasn't had a raise in prices mixed with a decline in portion sizes? Is the service pretty much the same? Yup! Nothing new to report here.
